I'm Looking For A Gaming Laptop Under 1000

[Kylon Chicken]

I want a laptop to use mostly for gaming and light video editing. This is what I need:

1. Intel i7 4710HQ or better
2. 2-4 GB graphics card
3. 8-16 GB RAM
4. Optical drive that isn't flimsy
5. Windows 8.1
6. Good reviews

My budget is $1000 USD (not including shipping or tax).

Here is an Acer Nitro that has good specs and is on sale on Amazon... (No Optical Drive)

Here is an MSI that has better specs than the Nitro and is on sale on Amazon... (You will need to pay an extra $12)

Here is a Lenovo Y50 that has the same specs as the Nitro and is on sale on Amazon...(No Optical Drive)
http://www.amazon.com/Lenovo-15-6-Inch-Gaming-Laptop-59425944/dp/B00K6ZIMPE/ref=sr_1_2?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1433969682&sr=1-2&keywords=Lenovo+Y50

I recommend the MSI, because it has all the features you want, but you need to pitch in an extra $12.
